“The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.”
Proverbs 21:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 21:8
The guilty man's way is 'froward' (Hebrew 'haphakpak'—twisted, perverse), contrasted with the pure whose work is 'right' (Hebrew 'yashar'—straight, upright). The wicked's path is crooked, characterized by deception and moral distortion. The pure person walks a straight path of integrity. Reformed theology emphasizes the antithesis between regenerate and unregenerate. The unconverted cannot walk righteously; the converted, though still imperfect, walk increasingly in uprightness through sanctification. Our works reveal our spiritual state.
